Verse 1:
D
How d'you know the music when you don't know the score,
         C                                  D             C
Do you think that you can make it when you don't read no more.
        D
Is it really the reason where there is not a need,
          C                        D
Are you trying hard to write it before you can read.

Chorus:
          F              C              D
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down,
          F              C              D
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down,
          F              C              D
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down,
                        C
Slow you down, I gotta try.

Verse 2:
           D
Does the cloud that you're watchin' ever tell you about the time,
          C                                 D                C
Does the song that you're singing sound to you just like a rhyme.
 D
Will there be an answer if you stop the asking why,
       C                     D
All because of the jigsaw, makes up a lie.
